The Time Crunched Cyclist Training Program by Chris Carmichael may be great, but holy broken spoke is it poorly organized.
He uses acronyms constantly without having a glossary of useable index.
Can you help?
CTS
And, more importantly, when he describes over under intervals in his training regime he writes:
60-90 min EM with 3x8 min
OU (3U,10) (6 min RBI)
I translate as 60-90 min endurance pace, with 3 eight minute efforts and 6 minutes between them. But what the heck is OU (3U,10)????
3U must mean 3 of the 8 minute efforts are under, but what the heck does that 10
mean????
Thanks!
